Patrick O'Brian Quotes
As You Know Very Well,' Said Stephen, 'I Am In Favour Of Leaving People Alone, However Imperfect Their Polity May Seem. It Appears To Me That You Must Not Tell Other Nations How To Set Their House In Order; Nor Must You Compel Them To Be Happy. But I Too Am A Naval Officer, Brother; Long, Long Ago You Taught Me That Anyone Nourished On Ship's Biscuit Must Learn To Choose The Lesser Of Two Weevils. On That Basis Alone I May Be Said To Have No Objection To Moahu's Becoming A Nominal British Possession.
